2026-09-17kconfig: prevent out-of-bounds user input for numeric optionsJulian Braha
Currently, user input of out-of-bounds values for 'int' and 'hex' options is possible, leading to later silent failures in Kconfig if that value is used in a comparison, or a warning by GCC or error by Clang if used in the C code. Let's factor out the out-of-bounds check on constants, so that it can be reused for checking user input. The frontend will now reject an attempted user input of an out-of-bounds numeric value, similarly to how a value outside the active 'range' already does. For migration of existing configurations, a .config file with an out-of-bounds numeric value will be allowed for now, but will warn the user when read in by confdata.c Assisted-by: LLM Signed-off-by: Julian Braha <julianbraha@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Schier <n.schier@fritz.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260915211508.291790-5-julianbraha@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org>
